My cousin once told me that if i continued sucking my thmb (i was 6) that it would turn green i stopped pretty quickly after that. Bad luck 4 me although my thumb didnt fall off i had to have a plate to correct my jaw from sucking my thumb!!!!!!!!!

I was five and I thought that by sucking my thumb I was invisible, I never minded going outside naked sucking my thumb because no one could see me. Mum stopped me when I was four because the neighbours were freaking out
I used to be beliefe if I sucked my thumb my thumb will be shrink and gone. Then i stopped to suck my thumb
:)
I was always told to stop sucking my thumb by other people but never my parents I even had a baby sitter put all sorts of stuff on it to get me to stop but I never did...and to this day I still suck it I'm almost 18, and my parnets still don't say anything this is actually more of a lack of displine story than thumb sucking, but I think the only way to stop is to WANT to or to have it fall off...none of my friends know I do it!....I still haven't decided if I wanna tell my husband I do it or just try to quit when I get married one day... :P
ya never know

Taz man!!!!
I used to believe that while I was sucking my thumb I could make it taste like anything that I could imagine, if I just thought hard enough. I remember sitting in front of the TV watching Saturday morning cartoons, with my blanket in my lap, sucking my thumb and how it made my spit taste wonderfully like orange juice and chocolate and black cherry jello and all the other nice things I could think of. It was an incredible epiphany and I felt very powerful. I started to wonder if I could do other things that way too, like flying or turning invisible.
I could hardly wait for my parents to wake up so that I could astonish them with my discovery. It would change the world -- if everyone realized this was possible, no one would have to starve to death ever again. They could just be perfectly happy by sucking their own thumb.

My mother used to tell me that if I didn't stop sucking my thumb it would turn green. I don't think I believed her and I didn't think it sounded so bad anyway. One night when I was maybe 2 years old, my mother snuck in my room and painted my thumb green with food coloring. I can still remember looking at it when I was sitting outside on my swing. I wasn't particularly upset about it and I think I put it in my mouth one more time just to make sure...but it just didn't seem right after that. My mother said I never sucked my thumb again from that day on.

my brother stopped me sucking my thumb by telling me the scissor man would come and cut it off
he was evil
My Mum tried everything to stop my thumb sucking. One tactic was the "it'll get smaller". So I kept checking my thumbs and the one I suck was (and still is) longer than the other. That idea proved wrong she tried to have me believe I would get buck teeth. The older I got the more my teeth stuck out and it looked like she was right. Then At 12 years old I was at the othadontists to have a brace fitted (to correct my buck teeth). My mother grabbed the opportunity and said "Her teeth stick out because she sucks her thumb don't they?" "No!" was the reply, "It's because her jaw is too small!"
Ha!
I am now 29 and occaisionally still suck my thumb.

everyone used to tell my sister that if she sucked on her thumb her teeth would end up so crooked that braces couldnt fix them- she hasnt put her thumb in her mouth since

My mum once told me that if I sucked my thumb it would shrink, so when I saw this girl at school (who always sucked her thumb) she burst into tears.
Niether of us sucked our thumbs ever again!

My dad was at a ballpark and he had a little girl sitting beside him (not me). The little girl was sucking her thumb and asked where his thumb was (he had recently chopped it off with a saw). My dad replied, "I sucked it off." The litle girl immediatly took her thumb out of her mouth. Her father was sitting behind her, and said, "Thank you!" Later that month my father ran into the man at the grocery store. He said that his daughter hadn't sucked her thumb since.

When I was little I sucked my thumb until I went to the dentist and he told me that if I didn't stop, I'd have front teeth like Bugs Bunny. I believed him, and stopped sucking my thumb.

When my parents told me that my thumb would fall off it I kept sucking it...I NEVER believed it. In fact I kept sucking it and it never fell off. I did keep looking at it to see if it was getting thinner though.

My Great Nan told me of a girl who sucked her thumb until there was only a bone left - I quickly switched preferred thumb from my right to left, so that I would still be able to write even if my left thumb was sucked to the bone!

I was told when I was little that if I sucked my thumb the hair on it would keep growing and growing until my thumb was covered in hair like Cousin It and then I would cough up hairballs like my cats. Scared me straight! I mean who wants cousin it for a thumb? hehe
When I was about 3 or 4 my mom told me if I suck my thumb I will wake up one day and it will taste really bad since it will start rotting and will soon fall off if I keep sucking it. I awoke one morning with an awful burning. Drinking water only made it hotter. Mom told me it was starting to rot. I never sucked it again. I now know it hot pepper she put on me.
